More than just imperfections: cracks are transformations of memory—kioku.
Based in Stuttgart, Germany, I restore ceramics and glass using Kintsugi/Urushi-tsugi techniques, avoiding synthetic resins, paint thinners, and turpentine-based oils, ensuring a food-safe and sustainable approach to repair. Each repair embodies the quiet strength of renewal.
The journey of Kintsugi begins with patience, as each repair takes a minimum of 63 days, depending on the seasons and conditions. I resonate with the idea of "living together" with the complexities of life and channel that perspective into kintsugi by reshaping fragments of past memories into new forms.
